[SOLVED] strtotime() problem

[hchsk]

i must be making a small stupid error, but i'm stumped:

 

 

//$lasteventtime is a date/time in format identical to $mytime

//GET TIME NOW
$ltime = time() + 3*60*60 ;
$mytime = date('D, j M Y h:i:s',$ltime);

//CHECK DIFFERENCE
print $mytime . '<br>' . $lasteventtime . '<br>';
$inactive = strtotime($mytime) - strtotime($lasteventtime);

 

 

the dates i am testing this with are:

 

Sun, 3 May 2009 11:43:03
Sat, 2 May 2009 10:24:52

 

and it is returning:

 

91091

 

for 9 hours, 10 minutes and 91 seconds, clearly incorrect.

 

 

thank you for your time and any help.
